Installing an electrical receptacle in home to use Mobile Charger

I am getting my home garage ready to charge the car and have a question. I want to extend the connection that my Dryer uses, move it closer to the charging port on the car. My service is 240 Volt x 30 amps, and the current receptacle is a three pronged one. If I install a 4 prong one which is rated for 50 amps, will the Tesla charger adapter understand that I only have 30 amps to offer? i.e. will the Tesla try to draw 50 amps from my 30-amp system?
